Next day.
Lin Fan and the rest, except for the Lai brother, waited for Lee outside the inn.
When Lee was ready, he came out of the inn and led them with his merchant team.
Lee chatted with Lin Fan on the way.
He told him about the north as Lin Fan was curious.
Lin Fan knew it was inevitable that they would have to go further up north and face Tan Xiao Yao.
"I would advise not going there.
"The north is very unstable, with barbarians from the grasslands trying to conquer it for years.
"Sometimes the soldiers will just run away, leaving the peasants to fend for themselves.
"General Tan is a blessing for the Quan Dynasty.
"He has been able to instill some discipline and hold the line for the past few years."
Lee briefed Lin Fan as they finally reached the outpost.
When Lin Fan heard what Lee said about Tan Xiao Yao, he frowned for a moment.
